Group Accounts panic

I wonder if anyone can help me?

I am resitting my DFS so at the moment I am trying to match the IASs with the FRS/SSAPs definitions I learnt last year!

I have never been able to understand group accounts and I am now faced with the prospect of the new standards.

Armed with only last year's text books, one specimen paper and a ream of internet definitions you can appreciate my rising panic. I am an external candidate who has registered with the college that I had attended part time. This year, owing to their and my work constraints, I am not technically allowed to ask my ex-tutors for assistance (I have been told that they have a duty to support their current students and would not have the time to support an external candidate).

Where do I start with Group accounts? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have passed everything else, so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks :(

    Thats a big question. Took me while to get to grip with group accounts.

    Maybe read a book and then come back and ask if you are having difficulty understanding/remembering any of it?

    The books I have are last years osborne book (chapter 9) and the BPP book for the unit.

    If I continue to slog through these, would that put me at a disadvantage? Are there a lot of changes between what I learnt for last year compared to this year?

    Have a look at the link below. It was in the AAT mag a couple of months ago. Hope it helps.
